Opera Festival - please click

Tickitaly are licensed advance reservation agents for ticket booking
for Italian state museums. For many of these, advance reservation
is compulsory - for those
where it isn't, you may well face long, long queues. For example, when visiting
the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, figure on an hour or two
standing in the queue, and it's not unheard of for people to be queuing for
three or four hours!
Why risk any of this? Several hours will enable you to do some serious
wandering around the city you're visiting, so why waste any of that
time by standing in
a
queue?
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
To reserve tickets with tickitaly.com, just
fill
out
the
booking form, give us a first - and sometimes second - preference for date
and time
(dates
are in European
DD/MM/YYYY format), supply us with credit card details, and we'll do the rest.
Once we have confirmed availability we'll then point you to our secure page,
where you can print out your entry voucher. Print it out, take it with you
to the venue and present it at the ticket desk ... they will
swap it for your entry ticket. As simple as that! You will
be charged absolutely nothing until we have confirmed your reservation.
From beginning to end the actual booking process is carried out on a Secure
Server, and payment is by credit card only (Visa and Mastercard). You are advised
to
book as far in advance as is possible (we'd recommend at least 40 days), and
to supply us with alternative dates/times should your first preference not
prove possible. Provided that you reserve well in advance, it should normally
be possible
to use your first preference. Please also leave us plenty of time to get the
voucher to you before you leave for Italy. It is not possible to book for next
year until
after November of this year.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
Within three working days you should receive confirmation (number, date and
time) of your booking, availability permitting. You'' be sent a link to a web
page together with login details, and from that page you'll be able to print
out
all of your
vouchers.
Please contact tickets@tickitaly.com if
this does not happen. Our general contact page is here.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you are booking for several different venues** then you'll
be printing out one voucher for each different visit (each having different
confirmation codes), and you'll be surrendering the voucher at the door. Once
you've logged in to
print
out
your
vouchers then
our system will automatically seperate your vouchers and print them one venue
per page. Please ensure that ALL of your vouchers print out correctly (ensure
that your printer is loaded with paper, for example). The login will work right
up until the time of your visit, so there's plenty of opportunity to access
and print your vouchers as many times as you like.
** If you are ordering tickets for the Verona
Opera Festival then
these tickets must not be ordered along with any other type of ticket
- they
must be ordered as a standalone order. See this
page for booking details
for the opera at Verona.
NOTE: You must present yourself at the venue at the time specified
on your booking voucher - admittance will not be granted at other times.
For this reason,
if you're planning on seeing, say, the Accademia and the Uffizi on the same
day, please
be sure to leave at least a couple of hours between visits.
Please also
be
prepared
to
show
some
ID
-
It
is
sometimes
difficult
for
Italian officials to understand that not all countries require their citizens
to carry
ID cards, if indeed they are issued in said countries at all. You will often
find that nothing other than a Passport or Driving Licence (with photograph)
will suffice.
No queuing, no uncertainty, no time wasted. Below you'll find links
that will provide specific opening and closing times, plus entrance
procedures, for all
of our venues. You'll also find details of our cancellation policy.

CANCELLATION / REFUND POLICY:
Please be careful when entering details on the booking form - from the moment
the booking form has been submitted it will not be possible to make ANY refunds,
so please ensure that the dates are accurate and that you have supplied a valid
email address. Our offices are closed on Saturdays and Sundays as well as important
national holidays. We'll reply immediately upon our return to work. If you do
not receive any sort of reply from us within three working days it should be
assumed that we have an incorrect email address or your ISP/Server is somehow
blocking our reply via a filter. Again, please contact us if you hear nothing
within three working days.
We use a Secure Server to process your order, but
the charge to your card is not immediate. Only when we have confirmed a reservation
with the gallery(ies) will we notify you, and a charge will be made to your card
to Renting In Italy Srl., the parent company of tickitaly.com. You may view
the full terms and conditions on this
page.
